“We continue to make great progress with our DCBBS (Data Center Building Block Solution), DLC (Direct Liquid Cooled-2) and AI technology leadership, but some customers delayed making platform decisions in the quarter,” said Charles Liang, founder, president, and CEO, Supermicro. “We do expect many of those commitments to land in the June and September quarters, reinforcing my confidence in our ability to meet our long-term targets, however economic uncertainty and tariff impacts may have a short-term impact. We believe that we are well positioned in the long-term to capitalize on the growing market opportunity.“

The non-GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 was 9.7% with adjustments for stock-based compensation expenses of $7 million. The non-GAAP diluted net income per common share for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 was $0.31. This non-GAAP figure includes adjustments for stock-based compensation expenses and the loss on extinguishment of convertible notes of $62 million and $23 million, which are net of the related tax effect of $22 million and $7 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, total cash and cash equivalents was $2.54 billion and total bank debt and convertible notes were $2.49 billion.

Recent Corporate Governance Updates
The Company has made progress on strengthening its corporate governance practices and implementing recommendations by the Special Committee of the board of directors. All outstanding financial statements have been filed and the Company is in compliance with all Nasdaq filing requirements. Since December 2, 2024, Supermicro has strengthened its board of directors and management team with the additions of Scott Angel, who joined the company’s board of directors, Yitai Hu, as the Company’s General Counsel & SVP of Corporate Development, and Kenneth Cheung, as the Company’s SVP and Chief Accounting Officer.

Business Outlook
The Company expects net sales of $5.6 billion to $6.4 billion for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 ending June 30, 2025, GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.30 to $0.40 and non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.40 to $0.50. The Company’s projections for GAAP and non-GAAP net income per diluted share assume a tax rate of approximately 14.9% and 16.5%, respectively, and a fully diluted share count of 628 million shares for GAAP and fully diluted share count of 642 million shares for non-GAAP. The outlook for fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 GAAP net income per diluted share includes approximately $63 million in expected stock-based compensation, net of related tax effects of $18 million that are excluded from non-GAAP net income per diluted share.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement its condensed consolidated financial results presented in accordance with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses non-GAAP measures that are adjusted for certain items from the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The specific non-GAAP measures presented below are: gross margin; operating expenses; net income; net income per common share; diluted net income; diluted net income per common share; and effective tax rate. Further, beginning with this reporting period management is adding adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as an additional non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors by offering a consistent basis for comparing the Company’s performance across periods, excluding items that are not reflective of our core operating results. These non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP or intended to be a replacement for GAAP financial data; and therefore, should be reviewed together with the GAAP measures and are not intended to serve as a substitute for results under GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

We exclude the following adjustments from our non-GAAP financial measures:

Non-GAAP Adjustments

• Stock-based compensation: Stock-based compensation relates primarily to our equity incentive awards. Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense that is dependent on market forces that are difficult to predict. We believe that this adjustment for stock-based compensation provides investors with a basis to measure the company’s core performance, including compared with the performance of other companies, without the period-to-period variability created by stock-based compensation.
• Loss on extinguishment of convertible notes: We exclude the loss on extinguishment of debt related to our convertible notes from our non-GAAP results, as it is a non-recurring, financing-related charge that does not reflect our underlying operating performance in the period incurred. We believe it is appropriate to exclude this loss – and to present it separately – to provide investors with greater insight, as it is directly tied to a capital-raising event and is not reflective of ongoing operating results.
• Adjusted EBITDA adjustments: When calculating Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to the adjustments described above, we exclude the impact of the following items during the period:
  • Interest expense
  • Income tax (provision) benefit
  • Depreciation and amortization

Pursuant to the requirements of SEC Regulation G, please see the tables below for the reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures. These should be read together with the preceding financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
